Abstract

To operate under severe energy constraints, clique-based neural networks are good candidates. They benefit from a reduced exchange of information between low-complexity processing units with no performance degradation. This paper proposes a modular, flexible and scalable architecture validated by an ST 65-nm CMOS ASIC implementation for a 30-neuron clique-based neural network circuit. With 0.8V power supply, 150nA unitary current and a low performance degradation, the neuron energy consumption is reduced to only 7fJ per synaptic event. The network occupies a 41,820μm2 silicon area.
